Well my sister found out that my niece got the part of "Little Crissy", Katie Cassidy (daughter of David Cassidy) is playing the part of 16 year-old Crissy. I guess in this remake of the original Nightmare on Elm Street, they added the younger kids for some key reason.

My sister and niece are going to be put up in a top notch hotel in Chicago, along with the other actors. The'll be booked in the hotel for most of May because they'll be on call and have a driver pick them up and take them to the studio and back to the hotel as needed.

It's been kind of nuts for my sister and brother in-law, as they've had to talk to an agent, get permission from the school to take my niece out, and get a work permit. They got a call yesterday and were told that they had to go to Chicago last night for wardrobe fittings and stay overnight so they can be part of a photo shoot today. They had to take pictures of "Little Crissy" and "Little Nancy" as well as some other kids playing on a playground, a class picture and other pictures to be used in the movie when the older girls look at a scrapbook from their youth and reminisce.

Today while getting makeup on, my neice got to meet Katie Cassidy (older Crissy) and Jackie Earle Haley who is playing Freddie Kreuger (he was also the guy that played Rorschach in Watchmen). My sister also got to bring home the script for the movie and every page has my niece's name stamped on it to mark it as her copy. It will be really cool to have that when she gets older.

My sister and niece go back next thursday or friday to begin staying in Chicago and shooting for the movie.
